Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on location at a functioning lighthouse in Washington state; cast and crew reported equipment malfunctions that couldn't be explained. They leaned into it.
Part of a 2024 micro-wave of 'coastal grandmother' horror that weaponizes isolation aesthetics—think 'The Lighthouse' for TikTok girlies who romanticized Cape Cod before this.
